This is beautiful cookware. New buyers should be aware that using it requires a different approach if you habitually use high heat, which will cause food to stick. We were given superb customer service by Michael Kane, who patiently walked us through the right settings on our induction cooktop and explained the real downsides of nonstick cookware (even the latest versions). Also, you'll need to use Hestan's special cleaner if you want to restore the beautiful finish to the cooking surface after each use.
